Safety Advisor for Electrical Contractors | Competent Person Support from £50 per Month

Safety Advisors for Electrical Contractors

Electrical contractors face increasing health and safety demands — and getting it wrong can cost you work, time, and reputation. With over a third of our clients operating in the electrical sector, we bring 20+ years of hands-on experience supporting electrical businesses just like yours.

We understand that safety advice isn’t needed once a year — it’s needed when issues arise on site. That’s why our fixed-fee Safety Advisor service, from just £50 per month, is designed to be affordable, practical, and fit for purpose.

For electrical installation companies with five or more employees, the law requires you to demonstrate clear health and safety competence. Our service ensures you meet those obligations while allowing you to focus on running your business.
